I've been seeing Dr. George for severe cervical pain, and I'm incredibly grateful for his care. Rosa also helped me navigate my disability paperwork with remarkable efficiency during a very difficult time in my life. They both took the time to explain each step, treated me with genuine compassion. I'm truly thankful for the exceptional care I've received from them. I highly recommend this team! read more

Dr Sagebien and his staff are a pleasure. I dealt with Rosa who handled my disability paperwork and put my mind at ease! Such a difficult 4 months of recovery and his staff did not miss a beat! Including my physical therapist Carina! I am back to "almost" myself after such a horrific accident at the beach. I am walking, I am back to smiling and re starting my life all thanks to some amazing, compassionate and friendly faces holding my hand thru it all! read more

I've had excellent care with Dr Monica and Dr Demian. Both are highly qualified and I listen to what you have to say.

Very disappointed in my right TKR ( Total knee replacement) it was preformed by Dr Kayarios December of 2019. I have a weak left leg due to a back injury and the doctor knew I needed to count on my right leg. Now I'm in chronic pain the knee becomes swollen with excessive use. And after the fact Dr Kayarios tells me "Unfortunately 20% of TKR wind up with chronic pain. My neurologist now tells me my right leg is weaker than the left; no surprise there. Two weeks ago I sent a picture of my swollen knee and leg to his office and was told to keep it up and make an appointment to come in. I did, this morning.... He did nothing knee is fine, you were told about the situation about pain, blah, blah, blah. My time is just as important as his, so WHY DID HE WASTE MY TIME TODAY, IF HE (,DR KAYARIOS) HAD NO INTENTION IN HELPING ME....... read more

Dr. McDonnell and Kim the PA are knowledgeable , skilled at what they do , professional and have a great bedside manner.

I went in February because I've had knee pain for years. I had already done PT and exercise. I met with Dr. Kayiatos and the first thing he did was order X-rays. He saw both of my knees were bone on bone. He gave me the option of more PT or knee replacement. After discussing with my family decided to go with knee replacement which was done in April. I met with his PA Lauren who after reviewing options had me meet with PT on the second floor The minute I went into surgery from the time I was in my room, Dr. K my wife informed. They arranged for my home visits, follow up, subsequent X-rays and called my home to make sure I was safe and healthy. It's been 8 weeks and so happy I went to University Orthopaedic Associates read more

Please avoid this place and just make the trip into NYC to the Hospital for Special Surgery. I went through 3 months of very generic physical therapy that consisted of 10-15 minutes with a physical therapist and then 45 minutes doing exercises on my own. I then had a completely unnecessary surgery that resulted in a hip replacement at 37. Trust me, find a better hospital. These doctors own the surgical center on site (as disclosed to me the morning of my surgery) so they're incentivized to get you in there. Prior to surgery they did zero testing "because I was young enough" and post surgery they literally put me in a wheelchair and sent me home 45 minutes after I woke up. The absolute worst part was the complete dismissal I received from the surgeon when it became obvious the surgery was a failure. I knew this place was bad, but didn't realize how bad until I started seeing a doctor at HSS. I wish I never walked into this office. read more

the doctor seemed rushed I wasn't treated for the calcified tendinitis I was told it would take months and to go home and exercise it 2 weeks later I'm seeking care I am in so much pain I can't believe I was not treated for this acute condition told to come back if it didn't get better. How he think it would get better left untreated I called my private doctor and she referred me to a new physician who explained Everything and gave me an injection and prescription for physical therapy And medication for the inflammation in my shoulder. i Would not refer anyone there you get assembly line care there. read more

Although the doctors might be good, plan out carving out twice as much time as you normally would for doctors visits. Even before covid-19 the time it took to actually see the doctor was close to an hour from your actual appointment time read more

I saw Dr Monica in the Monroe office for my hand , he was great , polite , smart , sensitive , and right on track , however I had a pretty bad experience at the Somerset office with Dr Mc Donald , who is a smart guy but said some really insensitive, stupid things to me , regarding my back xrays and discomfort , he said " wow you got a " Bad Spine There " !!! Wow !!! Such sensitivity !!! Should have said " well you have some arthritic and degenerative changes there , activity and age related !! I'm an Ophthalmic P.A. and deal with patients all day long , I would never say " oh you're going blind and have bad Retinal Problems !!! Very insensitive and terrible " bed side manner " and just a really Stupid thing to say to a patient !! Beware going to him , he might make you feel worse than your condition is and you might feel like crap when you leave !!! read more

University Orthopaedic Associates - Orthopedists Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Very very disappointed in the outcome of my left TKR (total knee replacement). The knee is fine. The resulting LLD (leg length discrepancy) which is IATROGENIC (result of therapy) has resulted in lumbar spine stenosis, neurogenic claudication. In other words, 24/7 pain in my left hip. I would trade back the knee pain I had. I was NEVER warned of this possibility by Dr. Kayiaros. Very sad. read more

You don't see the doctor without paying a co-pay. How is it then that I'm being billed for a co-pay? This defeats logic. Never trust a place that can't get the simple things done correctly!!!! read more

This is in regard to the surgical center on the third floor: from the receptionists to the nurses, never have I encountered such rude, disrespectful and lazy employees in my life! There's more texting and gossiping than actual working going on in there! read more

I have had excellent care during pandemic. I had my knee replaced and excellent follow up care both virtual and in person.

Dr. Kayiaros and University Orthopedics Associates are wonderful. My Mom has had four consecutive knee surgeries (three by another doctor, Mom had lost her patella tendon, and the fourth surgery was done by Dr. Kayiaros). He's honest. He told my Mom that it might work, and that it might not, even though it went successfully. He's completely the opposite, honest and truthful and just an overall fantastic doctor that I would 100% recommend to others looking for knee or anterior hip replacements. If you look up "Stephen Kayiaros" on Google you'll see all of the five-star reviews. My Mom is also recovering from an anterior hip replacement that Dr. Kayiaros did, and she's doing spectacularly. Thank you so much, a huge 'thank you' to Dr. Kayiaros and UOA for the care and attention that they provide to patients like my Mom, Lorri S. read more

Great orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Gatt and Dr. Blecher are great at repairing torn ACL, Torn Rotator Cuffs, and doing Knee arthroscopies! Very professional. read more

I can't offer an opinion of the doctors at University Orthopedic Associates because we never made it pass the woman (Liz) taking the appointments. My husband broke his wrist over the weekend (Saturday) - we went to medemerge and because of the break they told us we needed to go see a specialist on Monday. In talking with family and friends over the weekend, University Orthopedic Associates was recommended by three different people. Since they came so highly recommended and my husband is not one to sit around, he called University Orthopedic directly himself this morning. After talking to Liz, she set him up with an appointment in Princeton for Wednesday. Never asked him the extent of his injury - just told him Wednesday. My husband told her that he told medemerge that this was where he wanted to go because they came so highly recommended. And that he was trying to be proactive in order to get an appointment as soon as possible - you know the squeaky wheel. With that, Liz proceeds to tell him that sometimes being the squeaky wheel backfires in your face In the meantime, medemerge has now called us back stating that University Orthopedic Associates will see my husband this morning - to get down there to get his x-ray and referral slip. Great! We're getting ready to go when thirty seconds later, medemerge calls him back to tell us that Liz called them and cancelled the appointment because there was an emergency surgery at University Orthopedic Associates and his appointment was cancelled BUT he did have an appointment on Wednesday and that is the one he should keep. Too coincidental for me. I called the Somerset office back and this time spoke to Joann. Told her how I felt about Liz and her comment about the greasy wheel backfiring. Joann tells me that the doctor is now sick - vomiting, which is why they had to cancel the appointments for the day because he was leaving at 2 pm. Now, if he is vomiting why is he waiting until 2 pm to go home? And Liz took that appointment (before cancelling it 30 seconds later and noting that he already had an appointment on Wednesday) - did he just start vomiting so much in 30 seconds that right at that moment they decided to cancel his appointments (even though he was staying until 2 pm). Or did Liz just have her panties in a wad and wanted to prove a point to my husband that "I told you - sometimes the squeaky wheel thing backfires". Whatever the reason, I'm not happy with Liz or Joann at all. And needless to say, we are going somewhere else to have my husbands broken wrist looked at. If I could submit this with negative stars, I surely would. read more
